That the Christmas spirit has al- ready been felt by the children about the town may become generally known by taking a look into the mail at the Kensington post office where there are any number of letters addressed to Santa Claus. All in children’s hand writing they put up their plea for the good things that they would like to have delivered to their home at Christmas time. One little fellow wishes the merry old saint a “Very Merry, Merry Christmas and a Happy, Happy New Year,” after which he se- lects the few things that he consid- ers appropriate for the Old Fellow from the North Pole to deliver.

According to information received | by the Bristol police, the two young <rooks, of having- broken into Neri's confectionery store Mon- day night, after the local authorities had been advised that the pair planned a break in this town, have been captured in Brooklyn, N. Y., where they were caught in the act of burglarizing a tailoring establish- ment. But meagre information was given to the Bristol off today that they were simply told that the young bunglars had been found in a Brooklyn tailor shop and had been held for trial in that city. No effort has been made by the lo- cal officials to have them extradited to face trial for the Plainville burg- lary and it is unlikely that steps in the direction will be taken. The co stables have mno evidence against them other than the story told by a brother of one of the pair regarding their boast that they would break in- to a store in Plainville Monday night. It is known that they were here dur- ing the day although the police were unable to locate them. As they took nothing from the Neri store except some change, as far as the proprietors know, their conviction could not be easily ac- complished should they decide to con- test the efforts of 'the prosecution. The crooks are also wanted for a New Haven burglary and should they be released by the Brooklyn police it is probable they will be brought to the Elm City for trial, Casciello Child Dead.

Other Arrests. % Constable Phillip Marino made two during the night, giving ac- commbodations in the lock-up to John Buckley, a checker at the transfer station, and Richard zgerald of Avon.

Condell, Brady had heen out celebrating | during the evening and when he re- turned to the Hotel Clarendon, where he rooms, he was unable to get in. He had lost his key and tiring of his efforts to rouse the employes he se- lected the sidewalk for a couch and the stairs for his pillow. He was asleep when Officer Marino found him. Fitzgerald had lost his train for Avon, he explained to the officer, and retiring to a saloon he proceeded to make inroads on the stock while try ing to make up his mind as to what to do.

Samples of the water were aken when the outbreak of typhoid was first discovered, although the health authorities at no time gave much_ credence to the suspicion that the germs came from the reservoir, evidence from the first having pointed to other sources of Nevertheless they decided to have an analysis made to maie certain as to the purity of the water.

Sus picious cases of sickness which have been occupying the attention of the ian for the past few days, Dr. | ated, do not appear to be posi- tive and the theory that the patients | are suffering from illness of a char- | acter other than typhoid is becoming strengthened. The fact that no new positive cases of typhold have developed’ in several days gives considerable encourage- ment to the doctors and the towns- people in general, and supports the belief that the epidemic probably reached its crest last week.
